I didn't study law, so I don't know if there were any loopholes in the constitution of the Weimar Republic that allowed the Nazis to gain power so easily, and finally gave Hitler the supreme power of the Führer, and let a post-World War I democratic country's The model became the most terrifying Third Reich in the world - if guilty, the people are guilty, because the Nazis were elected, Hitler was elected, the Third Reich was elected, and the entire dictatorship was democratically elected.
What was Weimar like at the time? inflation? Mass unemployment? People's livelihood is dying? Indeed, so many old Germans still miss the glory of the Third Reich: the people have jobs, are collectivist, have discipline, have strength, think they are superior, create the miracle of National Socialism, but seem rigorous and thoughtful Yes, the thoughtful Germans forgot that the primitive accumulation of the Third Reich was based on tearing up the Versailles contract and squeezing the Jews. Yes, they didn't forget, they didn't want to believe it at all, because the Führer told them: the greed of Britain and France created the Versailles contract, the whole contract is illegal, we are not responsible for World War I, and the Jews are not enough to claim As human beings, they are parasites that oppress our higher nations.
When I was watching "The Tide", I was full of enthusiasm in the previous paragraph, and I didn't laugh in approval. The Nazis said, "Unity creates strength, discipline creates strength", although it is incompatible with communism, but the understanding of collectivism is almost the same , so I have a natural sense of identity. When the members of Inspur were making a scene in the city, I couldn't help but smile, as the young man said: "As long as you agree with this concept, everyone is a member of Inspur." "Look, we are just looking for a little bit. Fun." I think if I were in there, I'm afraid I'd be part of a wave of solid support too.
But the more I look back, I suddenly feel that I am getting colder and colder, seeing what they said, putting the blame on them without any evidence, when the dissenting people of the wave raise the fault of the wave, the members Or turn a blind eye, or say: This is their jealousy, which may not be true. They subconsciously take the whole wave movement as correct, and under this premise, no matter what they do, they think it is correct. I remember a saying in the Soviet Union during Stalin's time: "The justice of the end determines the justice of the means." Pure nonsense, according to Stalin and Hitler's thinking at that time, assassination, spies, slander, and even massacre, Wars are all right, all serve the people, those who lost their lives in the movement are all worthy of death, and those who argue a little bit about it are the heinous heinousness of the individualistic petty bourgeoisie, so these People should be wiped out from the spirit to the body. Such a fragile theoretical foundation was popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and it could be restored in China in the 1960s and 1970s. It really makes those who accept anarchism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. People can't accept it.
At the end, when everyone wore uniform white shirts and made uniform gestures, I trembled. It turned out that Hitler's resurrection was so simple. It turned out that Yoshiki Tanaka's view did have a realistic basis: "People are willing to accept dictatorship and be led because of leadership. The actions of the people are correct, they only need to obey, even if they are wrong, they do not need to take responsibility themselves, they only need to complain indiscriminately. And because democracy is elected by the people, they themselves are responsible for their own election results. Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, also rebutted his own terrorist activities in Israel: "Yes, I think all Israel and all Israelis should be punished by us because the Israeli government has carried out armed attacks on Palestine, and The Israeli government is elected by the whole of Israel, and they are all responsible." This seems reasonable, but it is nonsense. The teacher is like this, and the thoughts of the entire Palestinian people can be imagined.
Recalling the beginning of the film, when the teacher said, let's do an experiment, we also need everyone's consent, which means that this is also a democratic process, and there are also dissenting elements, but most of the students seem to be too easy to give up their own. The idea is unified into the "collective" thinking. To this end, they have paid for their individuality but never tired of it. Just look at the mentality of the members: East Germans without a sense of belonging, Turks without national identity, Muslims without religious identity, There are also empty-minded punks, students with broken families, who have found identity in the "wave", found a sense of belonging, and think that they are the invincible superiority of the great justice, let the other groups die ! Looking at their impact on the witch community and the way another school's water polo team and its cheerleading team can see that they have gone crazy, just like the stormtroopers back then.
In fact, the whole film is still democratic for all students. They choose the wave voluntarily, and they can oppose the wave. From democracy to dictatorship, they want to make the non-government students eat ashes, they want to eliminate other ideas, Wengel did not say, they have already started. Recalling what those students said at the beginning: "Now the Nazis have no ideological and mass base, and we will not go back to the past."
There is an old saying in China, "Flying birds make good bows, and cunning rabbits die for lacking dogs." Even if this activity continues and wipes out all other societies, then what? In order to maintain the absolute leadership of the leader and the purity of the entire group, they must carry out internal cleansing, think of what happened to Roma and the stormtroopers.
